Short-term rental properties in Simi Valley must provide adequate off-street parking for guests. The city prohibits STR guest vehicles from blocking driveways, sidewalks, or creating neighborhood parking shortages.
STR permit applications must include a parking plan showing available off-street spaces. Properties must provide at least one off-street parking space per permitted bedroom, up to a maximum based on the property's garage and driveway capacity. Guest vehicles may not park on lawns, block sidewalks, or obstruct driveways. In neighborhoods with posted parking restrictions, STR guests must comply with all local signage. The local contact is responsible for addressing parking complaints promptly. Excessive vehicles beyond the property's capacity may indicate occupancy violations.
Parking violations at STR properties are addressed through both traffic enforcement and STR permit conditions. Repeated parking complaints contribute to the three-complaint threshold for permit review. Vehicles parked illegally may be cited or towed under standard traffic codes.
